On Page No. 57 Little Black Twp, Randolph Co., AR 1870 census there is a Wilson Coats who I "believe" is our Wilson Coats. He is missing from the 1870 Texas Co., MO census. It shows: Wilson Coats 22 M W Laborer born MO (he was born in TN) Euphenia 24 F W born MO (called Phamy on tombstone) Sarah 6 F W born MO Martha 13 F W born AR Wilson's age should have been c/a 28, Wilson's wife went by the name of Phamy, we believe that the Euphenia could have been her name and "Phamy" a nickname. Sarah Jane is the right age for their oldest child. They then (if them) went back to Texas Co., MO, Wilson homesteaded and he and Phamy died 1875, both are buried in the Union cemetery, Texas Co., MO with other members of my mom's Coats family. Wilson and Phamy had three children Sarah Jane born c/a 1864, then Johnson "Johnsie" Mahala Coats born 1872 in AR and then Thomas Keggie Coats born in MO 1874. The Texas Co., MO homestead deed shows the three children's names left to them by death of their father, Wilson Coats. Thomas Keggie Coats then married my dad's aunt, Kizzie House. Kizzie was his second wife, first wife died and they are all buried in Union cemetery in Texas Co., MO. I knew my g uncle Keg and g aunt Kizzie. We are wondering if anyone has ever ran across a Martha Coats who would be the age of the 13 year old Martha in the 1870 census, she could not be Wilson and Euphenia's child. Or did the census taker just not put down a last name for her? ~ maybe she was just baby sitting Sarah Jane that day?? The Noblins from Randolph County are also in my Coats line we "believe". Wilson's sister, Nancy Redentine Coats married Alexander Noblin, we believe that Nancy was his second wife. We have not been able to find either marriage for him, my grandmother remembered him as "Elec" but I believe that it was probably "Alec". Nancy lived many years after he did, she is head of house in 1870 Texas Co., MO census, homesteaded. We have not been able to find Alexander and Nancy Noblin in the 1860 census but know that they were both together by ages of children. The two marriages for Alexander would have been before Texas Co., MO started keeping marriages. Nancy's step-son's death record (if him?) shows he was born in Texas Co., MO. One of Alexander and Nancy's son's death record has John Noblin as father and the other son's has Alex Noblin as father so his name may have been John Alexander Noblin. We "believe" him to be son of Samuel James and Cecilia Pyland Noblin. Alex and Nancy named their daughter Celia Ann Elizabeth Coats, that would have been after both grandmothers if we are correct. Nancy R. Coats and Wilson Coats were children of James and Elizabeth Hart Coats who came to Texas Co., MO from Bedford Co., TN. The Noblins were in Bedford Co., TN in 1840 census.
